VERY BRIEFLY IF I COULD GET A

BAPTIST AMEN -A METHODIST NOD

AND A SANTIFIED CHURCH HALLEJUAH

I WANT TO REASON WITH YOU ON THE THOUGHT

(GOD DOES HIS BEST WORK ON THE NIGHT SHIFT)

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

IN THE TEXT BEFORE US

THE PSALMIST ASSURES US

THAT THE REDEMPTIVE HAND OF

GOD IS STILL OPERATIVE IN HUMAN

HISTORY

AND THAT WE AS CHILDREN OF GOD

MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER

THAT EVEN IN THE MIDIST OF OUR WEEPING NIGHTS

THAT GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE

AND HE STILL HAS THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS

BECAUSE THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS

WHEN WE ARE AT OUR WORST

GOD IS AT HIS BEST

AND HE DOES HIS BEST WORK ON THE NIGHT SHIFT

YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

I`VE BEEN BLACK 4 TIMES

A BLACK BABY

A BLACK BOY

A BLACK YOUNG MAN

A BLACK MAN

AND IF THE LORD ALLOW ME TO SEE

MY GOLDEN YEARS

A BLACK OLD MAN

BUT IT`S THROUGH MY OWN EXPERIENCE IN LIFE

THAT I DISCOVERED FOR MYSELF

THAT YOU DON`T HAVE TO GO

LOOKING FOR A NIGHT SHIFT SITUATION

BECAUSE A NIGHT SHIFT SITUATION WILL COME FIND YOU

AIN`T IT AMAZING HOW A NIGHT

SHIFT SITUATION WILL DRIVE DOWN

YOUR STREET

BACK UP IN YOUR DRIVE WAY WALK

RIGHT IN YOUR HOUSE WITHOUT KNOCKING

YOU DON`T HAVE TO GO LOOK FOR A NIGHT SHIFT SITUATION

BECAUSE A NIGHT SHIFT SITUATION WILL COME FIND YOU

ALL IT TAKE IS A PHONE CALL IN THE

WEE HOURS OF THE NIGHT

ALL IT TAKE IS THE DOCTOR

WALKING AWAY SHAKING HIS HEAD

ALL IT TAKE IS WATCHING THE 6 OR 10 OCLOCK NEWS

AND YOU CAN FIND YOURSELF SLAB

-DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF A NIGHT

SHIFT SITUATION

BECAUSE WE GENERALLY FIND OURSELVES

IN 3 POSITIONS IN LIFE

AND THAT’S

GOING INTO A NIGHT SHIFT SITUATION

IN THE MIDDLE OF A NIGHT SHIFT SITUATION

OR COMING OUT A NIGHT SHIFT SITUATION

AND JUST IN CASE THERE IS

SOMEONE HERE UNDER THE SOUND OF MY WEAK VOICE

WHO IS COMING OUT OF A NIGHT SHIFT SITUATION

AND I NEED TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO STAY READ UP –PRAYED UP -AND SUITED UP

BECAUSE ANOTHER NIGHT SHIFT SITUATION

JUST MIGHT BE HEADED YOUR WAY

************************************************

BUT DAVID REVEALS TO US IN THE TEXT BEFORE US

THAT WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT

BUT JOY COMES IN THE MORNING

IN OTHER WORD WHAT DAVID IS SAYING IS

THE NIGHT SHIFT

WHEN OUR MISERY IS MUTE AND

WE`RE DEALING WITH SPEECHLESS SORRY

AND THERE APPEAR NO RELIEF IN

SIGHT

AND WE FIND OURSELVES LAYING

ON A LONELY PILLOW OF OUR OWN THOUGHTS

AND WE CAN`T EVEN EXPLAIN TO

OUR BOO WHAT WE ARE FEELING

THE NIGHT SHIFT

WHEN WE ARE UP COUNTING SHEEPS INSTEAD OF OUR BLESSING

GOD DOES HIS BEST WORK ON THE

NIGHT SHIFT

YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

IT WAS ON THE NIGHT SHIFT WHEN

WHEN MOSES HAD A WATERERY

GRAVE IN FRONT OF HIM AND PHAROAH BEHIND HIM

AND GOD SHOWED UP AT THE RED SEA

PUT THE WIND IN A FULL NELSON

AND MADE A FREEWAY DOWN THROUGH THE RED SEA

IT WAS ON THE NIGHT SHIFT

WHEN GOD SHOWED UP AT THE

BURNING FURNACE AND TOOK THE

HEAT OUT OF THE FLAMES AND TURN

THE BURNING FURNACE INTO A FELLOWSHIP HALL

IT WAS THE NIGHT SHIFT

WHEN DANIEL WAS THROWN INTO THE LIONS DEN

AND GOD PUT THE LIONS ON A

VEGETERIAN DIET WHILE DANIEL WAS IN THE DEN

BUT A MEAT ONLY DIET WHEN HIS ENEMIES WAS THROWN IN

IT WAS ON THE NIGHT SHIFT

WHEN THE DICIPLES OF THE LORD

FOUND THEMSELVES IN A STORM ON THE SEA OF GALLIEE

BUT IN THE 4TH WATCH OF THE NIGHT

JESUS CAME WALKING ON THE WATER

AND HE DOSE`NT WALK ON THE

WATER FOR THE DICIPLES TO SEE

HIM WALKING ON THE WATER

BUT HE WALKS ON THE WATER SO

THAT THE STORM COULD SEE IT`S CREATOR

GOD DOES HIS BEST WORK ON THE NIGHT SHIFT

***************************************************

THAT WHY AS WE OPEN THIS TEXT UP FOR A MENTAL INVESTIGATION

AND THEOLOGICAL DIALOGUE THAT WE WILL DISCOVER THAT

DAVID EXPLAINS TO US THE TRANSIENT NATURE OF WEEPING

AND THE EMINENT APPROACH OF

JOY IN THE AFTERMATH OF

DIFFICULT TIMES

TO REVEAL TO US THAT GOD DOES

HIS BEST WORK ON THE NIGHT SHIFT ****************************************************

WELL THE 1ST THING I NOTICE IN THE TEXT

IS THAT DAVID USES THE NIGHT TO

SHOW US THAT OUR WEEPING IS

ONLY TEMPORARY

IN OTHER WORDS

WHAT EVER IS CAUSING US TO WEEP

IN THE MIDIST OF OUR NIGHT SHIFT

IT`S ONLY TEMPORARY

IN OTHER WORDS THOSE

HEART ACHE --- HEART BREAK - SET

BACK AND THOSE SLEEPLESS

NIGHTS ARE ONLY TEMPORARY

BECAUSE THIS TO SHALL PASS

AND TROUBLE DON`T LAST ALWAYS **************************************

WELL NOT ONLY ARE THEY

TEMPORARY

BUT THE TEXT ALSO REVEALS THAT THEY ARE (TABULATED)

BECAUSE WHAT YOU ARE GOING

THROUGH GOD KNOWS ALL ABOUT IT

BECAUSE EVEN BEFORE A WEEPING

NIGHT SITUATION EVEN PULL INTO YOUR DRIVE WAY

IT HAS TO HAVE A PERMISSION SLIP FROM GOD

AND I WONDER IS THERE ANY BODY UNDER

THE SOUND OF MY WEAK VOICE WHO CAN TESTIFY

IF GOD BRING YOU TO IT HE WILL

SEE YOU THROUGH IT

BECAUSE ON THE NIGHT SHIFT

1-GOD WORKS ON US

TO PUT IN US WHAT HE WANT TO COME OUT OF US

2. SOMETIME GOD HAS TO TIGHTEN

THE STRINGS OF LIFE TO TUNE US UP

SO THAT OUR LIVES WILL BE IN TUNE TO HIS

3.GOD SOMETIMES HAS TO PUT US ON DISPLAY

SO THAT OTHERS WILL SEE HOW HE BOUGHT US OUT

AND HE IS ABLE TO BRING THEM OUT

IN OTHER WORDS

GOD SOMETIMES HAS TO BREAK US

TO MAKE US

BEND US TO MEND US

SOMETIME GOD ALLOWS LIFE TO SERVE US A LEMON

TO SEE IF WE ARE GOING TO ADD

JESUS TO OUR EQUATION AND MAKE SOME SWEET LEMONADE

***********************************************

WELL NOT ONLY ARE OUR NIGHT

SHIFT TEMPORARY AND TABULATED

BUT THE TEXT ALSO REVEALS THAT THERE THERAPEUTIC

YOU GO IN ONE WAY AND COME OUT

OF IT ANOTHER

IN OTHER WORD

IT WORKS FOR OUR GOOD

BECAUSE WEEPING NIGHTS AND

JOYFUL MORNING GO HAND AND HAND

BECAUSE WITHOUT A TEST YOU CAN`T HAVE A TESTIMONY

AND YOU CAN`T HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER

BECAUSE ON THE NIGHT SHIFT

GOD WORKS ON US TO PUT IN US WHAT HE WANT TO COME OUT OF US

CAN I BORROW A SKINNY MINUTE

AND TELL YOU WHAT I`M TALKING ABOUT

IN 1988 BETTY WRIGHT WROTE A SONG CALL NO PAIN NO GAIN

AND THE MESSAGE OF THAT SONG IS

IF WE WANT TO EXPERIENCE GAIN IN

THE MORNING

WE MUST ENDURE THE PAIN OF THE

NIGHT

BECAUSE IT`S BENEFICAL

BECAUSE WE GO IN ONE WAY BUT WE COME OUT OF IT ANOTHER
